Directed by Kerrie Seymour

\n

The time is
1905\, the place New York City\, where Esther\, a black seamstress\, lives
in a boarding house for women and sews intimate apparel for clients who r
ange from wealthy white patrons to prostitutes. Her skills and discretion
are much in demand\, and she has managed to stuff a goodly sum of money in
to her quilt over the years. One by one\, the other denizens of the boardi
ng house marry and move away\, but Esther remains\, lonely and longing for
a husband and a future.

\n

Her plan is to find t
he right man and use the money she’s saved to open a beauty parlor where b
lack women will be treated as royally as the white women she sews for. By
way of a mutual acquaintance\, she begins to receive beautiful letters fro
m a lonesome Caribbean man named George who is working on the Panama Canal
. Being illiterate\, Esther has one of her patrons respond to the letters\
, and over time the correspondence becomes increasingly intimate until Geo
rge persuades her that they should marry\, sight unseen. Meanwhile\, Esthe
r’s heart seems to lie with the Hasidic shopkeeper from whom she buys clot
h\, and his heart with her\, but the impossibility of the match is obvious
to them both\, and Esther consents to marry George.

\n

When George arrives in New York\, however\, he turns out not to be
the man his letters painted him to be\, and he absconds with Esther’s savi
ngs\, frittering it away on whores and liquor. Deeply wounded by the betra
yal\, but somehow unbroken\, Esther returns to the boarding house determin
ed to use her gifted hands and her sewing machine to refashion her dreams
and make them anew from the whole cloth of her life’s experiences.\n
